Content

"Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not" is a country love song. In the first verse, the song's male narrator describes sitting with his love interest and talking, and being caught off guard when she says to him 'are you gonna kiss me or not?' In the second verse he describes the kiss favorably, and decides to take a chance and ask for her hand in marriage. The song's bridge describes the events of the couple getting married, and him lifting up her veil before asking her 'are you gonna kiss me or not?'

The song is in the key of A-flat major, with an approximate tempo of 80 beats per minute and a vocal range from A♭3 to F5.[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Wes Edwards. It was filmed in St. Augustine, Florida in September 2010. It shows the duo singing outside a gate. It then moves to inside a lighthouse, where the performance continues. The next scene shows the duo in the water, at the beach and by the light of the moon, as well as scenes that are acted out, pertaining to the song's lyrics. The video ends with the duo kissing each other, which is actually turned out to be a reflection of them in the lighthouse's glass windows.

Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a positive review, referring to it as "cute, playful, romantic and a prime example of the kind of song an artist needs to breakthrough with."[3] Country Standard Time reviewer Jeff Lincoln also described the song favorably, saying that it "shows off a good bit of what makes the duo fun".[4]
